The inhabitants of this tiny isolated economy exist on fishing, subsistence farming, handicrafts, and postage stamps. The fertile soil of the valleys produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including citrus, sugarcane, watermelons, bananas, yams, and beans. Bartering is an important part of the economy. The major sources of revenue are the sale of postage stamps to collectors and the sale of handicrafts to passing ships

They sell postage stamps that some other country prints for them so that people collecting stamps can have one from their crappy country. If they use their own stamps, some dude probby goes around and delivers everything himself part time.

Earthquakes and the Pitcairn Internet
Pitcairn gets its new connection to the Internet due to a seismic station being placed on the island by the Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory. They have a network of seismological stations around the world that feed data in via satellite. That satellite connection is shared with the Pitcairn residents to connect to the Internet. You can see the seismic data from the Pitcairn Island Station, and it's updated every 30 minutes.

OMG they are seeking WMDs and therefore must be invaded and occupied for an undetermined amount of time.
